If you need a little inspiration on this February 2026 Friday the 13th, I highly recommend a few minutes at a library. Just heard a small child roar like a T-rex, a librarian excitedly recommend a Black History Month read to a retiree, & an extended convo about the new jigsaw puzzle collection.

We have a NEW essay over @commonplacejrnl.bsky.social all about Halloween tourism and where witches are (and are not) in modern-day Salem. Courtesy of Carla Pestana!
